A very distinguishing characteristic for when the type of fornication was adultery, was the following punishment. The punishment for adultery was (under the Law) to be stoned.

2)Adultery was punishable by stoning
3) If the fornication spoken of in Matthew 5 was "Adultery", then according to the law stoning would have been the answer not "putting away".
4)putting away of a wife for fornication, would be where after marriage takes place, that the spouse is found to have been sexually involved with someone before the marriage, under the law Moses allowed the putting away for this kind of fornication.
From the beginning up until the allowance was made, putting away was not allowed. What was this time,About 2000 yrs? This is a significant amount of time where putting away was not an option. So what was in existence during this time?
: Answer - What God hath joined together let not man put asunder!
Ironically this is where we also are at under grace/the dispensation of the Church.
You only become freed from the law of your spouse if they die.
If they depart they are to remain unmarried or be reconciled.
You are so lost. Christ was including things as adultery that might not necessarily constitute adultery as a capital offense under the Law. Though they might not get a woman stone, they are still grounds for divorce and remarriage according to Christ.
